Exceptional Leaders of Social Change: King and Ghandi
This four page undergraduate paper examines Mohandas Ghandi and Martin Luther King Jr., who both believed in civil disobedience as a form of non-violent protest in which concerned citizens should deliberately violate a law they consider unjust. They shared common moral dilemmas and spiritual insights as they taught that one should confine ones civil disobedience to violating the law one is protesting, such as laws based upon racial segregation or prejudice.
